Fruit smoothie

Christian Louboutin, whose ruby red-sole shoes are favored by celebs, including Lady Gaga, is heavily inspired by . . . fruit? “Pineapple and pomegranate are my favorite . . . visually,” the French footwear maven tells Bon Appétit. “The pineapple is very architectural. It’s a fruit, but it could almost be like a house . . . and I love the top, it reminds me of the hat that showgirls wear.” He even sketched one for the food magazine. “And the pomegranate,” he adds, “That deep- red color reminds me of my work.”
